All done!
 
Thankyou! He really is such a dude. Out hacking he is lovely just pootling round the village, in the field he is no problem and happy practising a little sheperding checking the sheep and cattle.....in the school, he is getting more settled. We had a few issues with the sides being very scary indeed and took a good fortnight of ground work and free schooling to get him happy to go close to the sides. He was happy as larry on an inner track, but working very close to the actual arena fence was faaaar too life threatening with the rubber flicking up at the fence. But we're 98% there now other than an occasional spook. Scary objects, riding school life and adjusting to farm life...no problem at all for his little brain. Rubber moving under his feet however....terrifying lol. Daft horse. :) We're doing one schooling session, one hacking session and a freeschool/groundwork session a week which seems to be working out well. :)

Thanks! I'm so pleased with him. Been worth the wait of the last 3 years of preparation and over the moon to see it going to plan.

He's filled out yes, still got a fair bit more left to go yet so just pootling along slowly building him up and enjoying time with him! Height wise, not so much, I've still never put a stick on him but I wouldn't say anymore than 14hh.
